Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary – Making it’s long awaited cash grab! ON KINECT!

Halo is cool. Since it landed, consoles have never been the same; for better and for worse. Recharging shields were just the beginning. FPS madness consumed the industry, but few things could spawn such a frothing fanbase. I personally witnessed quite a few pathetic neckbeards try to man up as a result of playing these games, except for a hideous fat guy that looked like Dr. Robotnik from Sonic the Hedgehog and tried hitting on my wife while encouraging her to join him in the… Continue reading →

iHeartRadio: Streaming on Xbox Live (Exclusively)

I don’t “get” this. By this I mean the upcoming iHeartRadio event going down in Vegas very VERY soon. How do I seem to know so little, yet also seem imminently aware of its proximity? Because I have a radio, you asshole! Aw, come back! I’m sorry! I didn’t mean it! I’m really sorry, that was uncalled for and I really didn’t mean it. What I meant to say was that I have been swimming in advertising for this event on literally every radio station… Continue reading →

Microsoft: Sued after caught double dipping for XBL fees

Recently, Microsoft was called out after a fella let his credit card and Xbox Live membership expire. The thing is that AFTER he installed a NEW credit card to restart the subscription to XBL, he got hit for two payments. One payment for the new subscription and another for the already expired membership. Dude got double-dinged. That’s not how it’s supposed to work… Microsoft claims, while counting the Plaintiff’s money, that he should pipe down and enjoy two years of Xbox Live since he already… Continue reading →

Kinect: Nuads Demo

So Microsoft has supplied a Demo of their interactive marketing crap in action. Potential sponsors for the Xbox Live Marketplace should be pissing themselves with delight, but Kinect owners should be wary knowing the complicated mess that advertising makes for things like trying to read text. I want to be clear that I don’t care for that name for this abomination; it makes me want to kick Microsoft in the “Nuads” until their “Nuads” pop out of their eye sockets. Just so you’re aware, that… Continue reading →

Gears of War 3: The WTF Edition, now with more flag!

Posted on by

Gears 3 hits this September and since it’s both the conclusion of a trilogy and the only big name Microsoft has left exclusively in the stable anymore with Bungie as Activision’s bitch now and the Halo franchise floating around without its anchor developer or any significant sign of life aside from Servers still being online; Microsoft and Epic want this to be huge. Extra HUGE. So akin to Halo REACH, there’s a tier of special editions now: Normal (comes in a case!), Limited (comes in… Continue reading →

Gears of War 3: On chainsaws and friendship

Posted on by

(I wish I could enjoy ANYTHING as much as this guy…) Gears of War is an acquired taste up until the point that you figure out how to aim your weapons and how to fillet your way through dudes using a monstrous chainsaw bayonet. Walk with me guys as I fondly look back on some grisly acts done in the name of friendship, more videos and nostalgia after the cut…
